My German Empire

"It seems to restart 150mm high-tech gun production."

The commander of Arnold is extremely depressed. With the service of the XP-67 high-altitude fighter, the production of 150mm high-tech guns is shelved. Because a 150mm high-gun cost craft caught up to 1.5 XP-67 fighters, most people think that there is a XP-67 fighter enough to refuse to do the German bombers, do not need to reproduce this and expensive and time The high-fire guns, so the high-fire gun produced in the previous period is only surrounded by Washington. Today, the XP-67 high-altitude fighter group has not been covered, and the Northeast Industrial Zone has not threatened the defense power of the German high-altitude bomber.

At this time, another news came from the attacking machine takeoff flight from the German aircraft carrier, bombarding the Edwards dam on the Kenabbeck River in the Mazhou. This dam was built in 1837, taking into account power generation and navigation.

"Dam?" Everyone has never been reacted, and the news from the second link came, and the German attack chart is attacking the dams in the Northeast Industrial Zone.

The United States is a country in the world's water dam. According to the statistics of the US Army Engineering Corps, there are about 79,000 dams in the United States, which does not include hydropower projects that are too small and not included in the statistical list.

The 20th century is a golden age in the US dam construction. At the time of the US president, Roosevelt wrote in 1908: "We should use the hydraulic power of each river as much as possible." And the next decades, the United States's Jianba is almost swept all major rivers in the United States. .

In this period of this period, two Hydropower stations were born in the United States: Completed in 1936, located in the Hoover Dam on the Colorado River, and completed in 1942, the large octic dam on the Columbia River. Until the two dams are still the most important force in the US hydraulic power generation.

Willky president hurriedly asked. "Is the air defense power around those dams?" Once these dams are destroyed, the power supply in Northeast Industrial Zone will be greatly affected. Even if the carbon fiber passed by the Germans is clean, it is impossible to return to normal production.

Arrange air defense power around thousands of dams? How can it be.

"No, Mr. President, but we arranged lightning protection network upstream of some middle-scale dams."

The large-scale dam is high and sturdy. If the bomb casts from the top, it will not be able to accurately hit the dam, even if it is, it is difficult to cause the huge gap to destroy it. If you want to cause fatal damage to the dam, it can only attack the root of the dam, and the torpedo is naturally the best. From the upstream direction, the torpedo attack, use the explosion water pressure to increase the destructive power, if you concentrate on a little torpedo attack, you can cause huge damage to the dam.

"That is, can you feel at ease?" President Wilky has not come to the loose breath, see the face of Arnold changes. "Arnold Command? Is there any problem?"

"Mr. President, I last mentioned you to our aviation invented a new jumper / bomb attack tact." In this attack method, B-25 needs ultra-low altitude high-speed brushed water to close the enemy ship, close to When you apply a bomb (usually 227 kg bomb), the bomb is like a water drift, and then pops up, then fill it down until the side of the ship, then explode.

President Wilky nodded. "Yeah, but our bomber is not close to the German fleet is not?" In the outer circumference of the fleet, it was clean by the German carrier machine, even if there is no good tactics.

Arnold's face is white. "This new type of jumper can also attack buildings such as the dam. If the Germans have mastered this technology ..." He felt that the intelligence capacity of the Germans, I am afraid I have known the principle of this bomb.

He guess is true, the Germans are of course mastered.

In January 1943, the British commander launched a famous Royal Battle, ordered the Royal Royal Air Force to focusing on the air of Germany, Germany's primary goal is to blow the three reservoir dams near Ruh.

The Ruhl Industrial Zone includes major cities such as Essen, Düsseldorf, Dortmund, in the core of coal, steel, chemical, mechanical manufacturing, etc., industrial output value has accounted for 40% of the country, in German economy It has a pivotal position. The famous Krupp Iron and Steel Enterprises in World War II are located in Essen City in the Lul Industrial Zone. During World War II, Krupp Iron and Steel Empire directly or indirectly employed by 200,000, manufacturing cannons, armored vehicles, tanks, submarines and various light weapons for German army, providing a strong military equipment for Germany. The unfunctory saying of Ruer Industrial Zone is the German military base, which is also the material foundation of Germany's World War.

The Germans naturally know that these reservoir dams are "soft" in the industrial zone, and heavy troops are deployed around the dam. Under the powerful air defense fire, it is difficult for the Allies to fly low. However, the accuracy of the high-altitude thrower bomb is very limited. How to bomb the dam has become a problem with the Allies.

British aviation engineer Barnes. Walles genius thought of a super-low-altitude bombing method, bomber 30m or less, avoid radar detection, then at a height of 18 meters, when the dam is about 700M, at 100km / H 's flight speed, according to his calculations, the bomb will drive the water on the water, bounce 6, 7 times arrive in the dam, and finally hit the dam with the end of less than 5m / s, and then fall into the water, reach After a certain depth, the water explosion can cause a variety of damage to the dam body pit, the gas hole cut, shock stretching, bending, and impact wave destruction, and can effectively destroy the dam.

To this end, he also designed a special aviation bomb. This kind of bomb shape is like a drum, and this bomb is cast from a low empty space, which can rotate at a speed of 500 rpm, while jumping forward in the water surface, escaping the lightning protection network.

The Allies use this bomb and tactics. After many serial bombings, the two dams in the Lul Industrial Zone are destroyed once. 400 million tons of flood pouring, not only the four weeks of the soldiers, industrial parks, and downstream people are more suffering. It is reported that at least more than 30,000 people are killed in the flood caused by this bombing.

This kind of jumping bomb is being attacked by the German attack machine that is attacking the dams. Because there is no air defense firepower nearby, a frame A-1 attack machine is flying in the river, and throws the jumper under the machine. Subsequently, these jumped on the surface of the dam rushing to the far away dam.
